Reviews

Absolutely splendid location with stunning views of the Yorkshire countryside. Kids were safe to play in the spacious walled area outside and loved the Smart-TV in the evenings. The lane is very quiet with hardly any traffic. Maps and guides for walks were very much appreciated as indeed also the vast amount of flyers on other attractions. We definitely recommend to visit the weekly sheepdog demonstration nearby and the Chippie in Hawes offers great fish and chips. We (2 adults, 3 kids aged 10,13,17) spent two very memorable happy weeks here exploring the countryside and will definitely come back, as the area has so much to offer for active families!Mrs Tanja Roggendorf - 25th August 2018

Very comfortable and in a great location. The cottage had everything we needed and was in a great location for exploring Wensleydale.Mrs Annette Clayton - 2nd August 2016

Area Information

Hawes

The charming market town of Hawes has been around as far back as 1307 and is still delighting visitors to this day. Standing between Buttertubs and Fleet Moss, the name Hawes literally means 'a pass between mountains' and the town's beautiful setting in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales means you're never far from a breathtaking view and ideally located to access many of the Dale's most popular visitors attractions. The town's market is held every Tuesday selling a great selection of locally produced food and drink, however if you can't wait until then to sample some of the area's lovely food- pay a visit to the the Wensleydale Creamery, located just on the outskirts of the town to see how the famous cheese is made (and try a bit for yourself!). For lovers of the outdoors, there are many fantastic walks in the area such as the Hawes Mosaic Trail and circular walks to nearby Aysgarth Falls, a stunning waterfall over limestone steps.
